Silvain

The silvain are the keepers of the Iyassian Tree. These wood-like, fey creatures rarely leave the tree's island and very few silvain choose to wander the worlds.   They are rumored to be the direct descendants of the five maidens, which once walked on the world of Ianna. Whether this is true or not, the silvain have strong ties to the element of wood and a firm grasp of power on that element. It is said that each silvain is born with a single purpose and function in caring for the Iyassian tree.   The silvain live in a peaceful society on the Iyassian Isle with virtually no crime. The island is a neutral ground for all races on Ianna.   Play a silvain if you want…
  • to play a mystical caretaker of the world.
  • to be part of a race that is plant-like.
  • to be a member of a race that favors the alchemist, oracle and ranger classes.
